Smurfette has been captured by Gargamel! As a Smurf, it is your duty to rescue her. During your journey to Gargamel's spooky castle, you must traverse fields, woods, and caverns while jumping over and ducking a variety of obstacles, such as mountains, hawks, snakes, bats, spiders and fences. The action moves from left to right, and you are on foot. You have no weapons or tools of any kind, just a Smurfingly good high jump and long jump.
Smurfette is being held in the laboratory of the castle. Once you enter the laboratory, you must jump up to a bench, a table, a chair, and a shelf and into the waiting arms of Smurfette, the only female in all of Smurfdom.
Smurf: Rescue in Gargamel's Castle, which first saw life as a ColecoVision game, is based on Smurfs, the popular Saturday morning cartoon series of the early 1980's.
